Aye, it's lunch time here too...

I have been thinking of establishing an InterSlab...kind of like InterFlora...but with Beer instead of flowers ...

I was a 10 pound baby...lived less than half a day of the 70's...it's all very exciting...

(Back in a little while...must get meself a sandwhich or something )

therefore your birthday would be December 31st 1979 I take it Tanz

That's it...the last day of the seventies...the end of an era...and the dawning of the Age of Tanzen...

Tanze, I'm not sure quite how to tell you this, but....


I'm Evan Smith!

*Standing up in his Spartacus outfit and chains*

No! I'M Evan Smith!!

btw, don't you like the way the little leather skirt hides my beer belly?

I've always liked little leather skirts



Sees what zoomer's hiding up his skirt

...Well, the fact that his name's not actually Evan Smith kinda weakens your case, boys

...there was an Evan...and a Mr Smith...but Evan Smith was a strange hybrid of past "loves"...so which one of you is Evan, and which one is Mr Smith ?

And I've never had a problem with boys in skirts..it's just that most of them wear them better than I can ...

(And I'm going to totally avoid the fact that Egon was looking up Zoomer's skirt )

Oooch, aye! Me father's middle names were Stewart McLeod, and mine is McLeod and if any of ye want to look up me kilt I have nae problem with it. It's not called a caber for naught!



T- it's not the name, it's the principle!

Zoomer...you're a strange man...but thank you for putting that accent in my head...I may very well be talking with a (very poor) Scottish accent for a few hours now...

...which is ok, because I'll be going to lunch with my brother, and he'll play along ...

och aye, I'm Evan.

Incidentally, my middle name's worse than zoomers

Come on then, everyone...if you're too chicken to 'fess up with first names...

...second names please...

*in his best scottish brogue* Och aye & I don't suppose a weary traveller could get a wee dram of single malt scotch...or two...oooh, maybe three, to wet his parched throat after a long journey?

How're you all doing? I'm back on a fairly regular basis now.

Hey Jazz !!

Long time, no see, sailor !

*clears throat for what is quite possibly the least convincing Scottish accent in existence*

Aye, an welcome back, laddy! There's scotch here for all o ye he'll be in't...

Actually, I'll have a wee bit meself......

Ah, & I'm glad to be back, lassie ...especially if there's free flowin' scoth!!

Aye, I just hope its better than my typin' ...'C'

'Tis the nature o' the beast, young jazz, the more ye drink, the less ye ken...'though it often seems the opposite....

Ah, I s'pose yer right lassie...so, how've you been then? And how's life in Oz?

Me? Oh, I've been grand, sonny!

O course, me life's a bleedin' soap opera at the moment, but apart from tha', it's all beer and skittles, son !

Thats unavoidable, life gets that way at times...just as long as the soap doesn't get in yer eyes.
